Art Project

The girls got the neatest little ring painting/decorating kit for their birthday this year. Daycare was closed yesterday so we decided to try out the kit and make some pretty rings. There were 7 rings total to decorate and only one set of paints and paint brush so the kids had to take turns. It was Olivia's idea so she got to go first.

Marcus even wanted to paint one. He actually picked the one ring that looked like a guys ring. He only wanted to use the orange paint and the white paint. It was pretty cute; he wanted nothing to do with the pink and purple...proof yet again that this kid is ALL BOY!

He decided he had enough after that one ring and in true boy fashion, ended up on the chair to watch a movie complete with a big bowl of popcorn.

Next was Emma's turn. She concentrated really hard and made sure there were no spots missed. She used every color in the paint pallet. It took her a long time to paint just one ring.

Olivia waited as patiently as she could...it was really hard to wait...and wait...and wait...

FINALLY! It was worth the wait :-) Don't ask about the face; Olivia just wants to be goofy for the camera lately; I think it's hilarious! The girls each got to paint 3 rings. They all turned out very unique. We had to let them dry and the next step is to decorate them with jewels. We didn't have a chance to get to them today (the weather was too nice to stay inside today); but we will probably get them finished tomorrow (rain is in the forecast yet again).
